The aim of this experiment is to find out how temperature and concentration affect the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by an enzyme (yeast). I hope to achieve reliable results that will confirm my predictions.

What Affects the Rate of Breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide by Enzymes Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out how temperature and concentration affect the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by an enzyme (yeast). I hope to achieve reliable results that will confirm my predictions. Prediction I predict that if the concentration is high in the yeast then the speed of oxygen produced in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide will also be high. This is because the amount of yeast that can react with the hydrogen peroxide can get no higher and will have the maximum affect on the reaction. If the concentration is more in favour of water then the amount of oxygen produced will be slow because there is not as much yeast to react with the hydrogen peroxide, giving less oxygen. If the temperature is not in favour of the limits to the yeast then the amount of oxygen produced...
